Catching up on ~3 weeks' of email at work and spending some time updating my email rules to (try to) keep my inbox for things which are actually useful to read. I used to have pretty decent aggressive rules set up but I didn't stay on top of them.

Judged my travel SIM data about right!

Following Keir Starmer through NZ #ukpol

Feels like, since this message references a power of 2 number, it should be talking about MiB too

Me: I don’t get it, what’s so great Tails: get out of my box #caturday

@KiwiEV been sampling NZ roads over the last couple of weeks (Auckland -> Queenstown so far) and they’re loads better than UK ones! Hardly seen a pot hole, the ones back home can be career-ending (I cracked an alloy on one), although the coarse chip stuff definitely gives a lot of road noise […]

Mmm, #coffee with atoms

Staying in a dark sky reserve place tonight, and can already see the Milky Way with the naked eye :o

I am “saying ‘oh wow’ at someone else’s photo of a nice house” years old

[Tiramisu. Again.] Happy anniversary us :) Tiramisu to celebrate!

In a coffee shop based in an old post office. They kept the pneumatic tubes and use them to deliver food to tables!

Interesting 2D data format @revk

Currently 11,000 miles away from these two but the cat sitter has us covered for #caturday

🆕 blog! “NHS Goes To War Against Open Source” The NHS is preparing to close nearly all of its Open Source repositories. Throughout my time working for the UK Government - in GDS, NHSX, i.AI, and others - I championed Open Source. I spoke to dozens of departments about it, wrote guidance still […]

@stefano @justine the first rule of tiramisu club is: nom nom nom

@Gammitin if you have a mechine of the K6-2 era and a Voodoo 2, have you run Voodoo Lights (screensaver type thing) on it? I used to run that on mine, it was mesmerising :) Think I have the binaries for it somewhere but not any hardware now

Surely closed would be a better way to showcase your products

Shut happens

“And you’ve definitely seen a bike before?” “Absolutely.”

On a roll, my second contribution to ports was just committed :) #freebsd https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=69b05d1c9fc09863d064a98ddf392a991eb4e770

This trip I have brought my secret weapon for deployment against light sources in hotel rooms: a roll of black electrical tape

Mmmm, ball

My Mastodon weekly tidy sometimes crashes out (Ruby JIT dies, suspect it runs out of memory as the host isn’t massive) but my monitoring keeps an eye on it so I can kick it off again manually if needed. Pictured here from the other side of the planet over Tailscale and mosh, aren’t computers cool :)

Yay my patch to the Amazon SSM Agent port was committed to #freebsd ports - if you use it then please be sure to update soon as changes to the service mean the old one will stop working in June!

service honeymoon start

Another day another time my homelab seems to have better operational posture than most of my customers…

The LetsEncrypt addon (well, certbot inside it) for #homeassistant seems to need an additional Route 53 permission now, if you’re using that for DNS verification. My TLS expiry notification spotted impending doom and the required perm was complained about in the log file. Updated my IAM Policy […]

Me: it’d be cool if the Trainline app did Live Activities for my train journey with delays and platform info etc Trainline app: sorry the best I can offer is demanding to know your age when you’re booking a ticket

The key(?) and aspect ratio change before the spaceship bit of Second Reality still give me goosebumps
